Where is good to go to school for pre med???

I'm starting pre vet in the spring. A huge concern of mine is balancing work, school and getting the experience hours I need to apply to vet school. I'm nervous because it's hard to find online science classes due to labs (which are time consuming and makes it harder to work), be able to work to...

I see a lot of people here complaining that medical school is worse than death. It's very disheartening and unmotivating. Is medical school really hell on earth?

Math is not my area. It never has been. Obviously I know I'll need to be proficient enough to succeed in physics, chem, and two semesters of "college level math" in order to get into most med schools; but I'm honestly not 100% clear on what qualifies as "college level". College algebra? Pre...

Just curious to see if this is consistent amongst different schools (and if you're comfortable please share which one). Are you required to make your own special trays, base+rims, do your own mounting, wax ups, teeth setups, pour, trim + duplicate your own models etc?? For those with digital...
